Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1892, by 

Prof. E. McC'onkey, 
In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. 



Fergus Printing Company. Chicago. 



THESE Prescriptions have been secured at great 
expense from noted physicians and specialists, 
who are using them successfully in their practice, 
and have all beeo thoroughly tested 

Having traveled throughout the United States 

far twenty-five years in the medicine business, and 

a close observerj I have found that thousands 

<li.- every year for the want of treatment at the 

propei time, 

I: N 1. 2. and .'? should always be kept 

in the house to be used in cases of emergency. 

Knowing that this book will be found a friend 
in time of need, it is offered to the public. 

J 'ret'. E. McCONKEY. 



*fN buying this book, I promise on my sacred word 
of honor not to allow anyone outside of my own 
family to read its contents or to copy therefrom.
